Title: Electronic watt-hour meter.
Inventor: YOSHINAGA TOORU
IPC: G01R21/133
Filed: 1994-01-06
Abstract: In a method for digitizing the voltage signal and current signal of an electronic watt-hour meter to calculate electric power by digital multiplication, the circuit has a small analog scale, signals are mainly digitally processed in the circuit, and the circuit can be composed of ICs, thus enhancing the accuracy of calculating the power. A voltage signal (v) and a current signal (i) are respectively inputted into analog-digital converting means comprising sigma-delta modulation circuits (10 and 11) and others. The outputs are averaged by running by the running-averaging means (12, 13, 14 and 15) which are low-pass filters. Then the voltage is multiplied (18) by the current. The analog scale in the sigma-delta modulation is small. Also, the scale of circuit is small by the adoption of low-pass filters provided for the running average. Further, the power calculation can be made at a high accuracy.

Patent EP-0701638-A4 (EP)
Title: Tufted articles and related processes
Inventor: HAMILTON WAYNE M
IPC: D05C15/34
Filed: 1994-05-25
Abstract: Processes for tufting substrate or primary carpet backing using conventional double needle bars but in which the needles may be shifted less than a full gauge. Processes of the present invention may employ a conventional double needle bar tufting machine to which is added means for shifting or indexing the hook bar laterally to the machine direction of the substrate being tufted. Timing of shifting of the hook bar may be coordinated with timing of shifting of the needle bar and advance of the substrate through the machine to allow piles to be tufted into the substrate at any desired lateral position with respect to previously tufted piles. The invention creates additional pile color pattern alternatives and eliminates repetitive patterns otherwise necessitated by full gauge shifting. Elimination of repeat color sequences reduces matching color sequences on adjoining edges of adjacent carpet tiles made from such substrate which otherwise accentuate or highlight the seams between carpet tiles.

Filed: 1994-12-01
Abstract: Dispositif (1) amélioré autonome et automatique de contrôle de la vessie qui comporte un support (2) d'ensemble vanne destiné à recevoir de manière libérable un ensemble vanne (20). Le support (2) préférablement cylindrique comporte une surface (16) externe structurée destinée à interagir avec le tissu urétral. Le support (2) peut donc être placé non chirurgicalement dans un urètre et avec le temps, l'interaction des tissus avec la surface (16) externe structurée l'empêchera de se déplacer; pourtant, il sera toujours possible de le retirer sans avoir recours à la chirurgie. Deux modes de réalisation d'ensembles vanne sont décrits, chacun permettant un fonctionnement de type sphincter de l'appareil de contrôle de la vessie. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, la loi de Bernoulli est utilisée pour garder la vanne ouverte après une courte période de contraction musculaire. Le deuxième mode de réalisation fait appel au fait que la force produite par la pression hydrostatique est directement proportionnelle à la surface à laquelle elle se heurte, pour obtenir la durée désirée d'ouverture de la vanne.

Title: Continuous casting mold and method of making
Inventor: LORENTO DONALD P
IPC: B22D11/04
Filed: 1996-10-03
Abstract: A wall of a four-piece mold is made by machining cooling channels into one side of a steel backup member. The cooling channels are filled with wax which is then covered with conductive paint or tape. A layer of copper is now electroplated onto the side of the backup member with the cooling channels, and nickel and chromium are plated over the copper in succession. Upon completion of plating, the wax is removed from the cooling channels by melting the wax. Alternatively to machining the cooling channels into the backup member, strips of plastic are adhesively secured to the backup member prior to plating. The plastic strips, which have widths and heights equal to the desired widths and depths of the cooling channels, are placed on the backup member at the intended locations of the cooling channels. Copper is plated onto the backup member to the height of the strips which are then removed to form the cooling channels. The cooling channels are filled with wax and the process of making the mold wall is then completed as before.

Title: Tamper-evident band
Inventor: MASCIO NICHOLAS
IPC: B65D47/24
Filed: 1997-04-17
Abstract: A plastic container closure has a skirt which is connected to a tamper-evidencing band by frangible bridges, all molded in a single unit. Where the closure is a cap for a container neck, there is at least one retaining means on the skirt and another on the band. The neck has two retaining means which cooperate with those on the cap to prevent upward movement of the cap without fracture of the bridges. To reduce the likelihood of unintentional fracture of the bridges, particularly during installation of the cap on the neck, plural ejection bumpers of extended arcuate lengths are located on the top edge of the band and or from the bottom edge of the skirt and the bridges are located between the bumpers. This snap lock ring functions to replace the conventional retaining means located centrally of the band. The invention is applicable to tamper-evidencing bands of closures and of push/pull closures of sports-type cap spouts.

Abstract: Procédé permettant de préparer des esters de diphosphate arylique sans former d'émulsion dans le produit. Dans une forme de réalisation de ce procédé, pour former l'ester, on procède initialement à la réaction d'une oxyhalogénure de phosphoryle avec un composé aromatique dihydrique en présence d'une catalyseur insoluble pour former un intermédiaire. On fait ensuite réagir cet intermédiaire avec un composé aromatique monohydrique en présence d'un catalyseur insoluble pour former l'ester de diphosphate arylique qui en filtre le catalyseur qui se trouve dans l'ester diphosphate arylique. Dans une autre forme de réalisation on forme l'ester en faisant réagir un composé aromatique dihydrique en présence d'un catalyseur insoluble avec un composé correspondant à la formule (RO)2POX dan laquelle X représente brome ou chlore et R représente un composé aromatique et ne contient pas plus d'un substituant ortho. On filtre ensuite le catalyseur présent dans l'ester diphosphate arylique.
